Meeting Description:

The EACL 2017 Student Research Workshop (SRW) provides a forum for student
researchers who are investigating various areas related to Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. The workshop provides an
excellent opportunity for student participants to present their work and
receive valuable feedback from the international research community as well as
from selected panelists - experienced researchers, specifically assigned
according to the topic of their work, who will prepare in-depth comments and
questions in advance of the presentation. The workshop's goal is to aid
students at multiple stages of their education: from those in the final stages
of undergraduate training to those active with graduate thesis research.

Student Research Workshop Committee:

Student chairs:

- John J. Camilleri, University of Gothenburg (Sweden)
- Mariona Coll Ardanuy, University of Göttingen (Germany)
- Florian Kunneman, Radboud University (The Netherlands)

Faculty advisor:

- Barbara Plank, University of Groningen (The Netherlands)

2nd Call for Papers:

EACL 2017 Student Research Workshop (SRW)

The SRW will be held in conjunction with EACL 2017 in Valencia, Spain.

Main conference: 3-7 April 2017

Paper Submission Deadline (extended): 27 November 2016

We invite papers in two separate categories:

1. Thesis/Research Proposals: This category is appropriate for students who
wish to get feedback on the progress of their thesis work and broader ideas
from the field in order to identify the most promising directions for the
remaining thesis work.

2. Research Papers: Most appropriate for students who are new to academic
conferences. Papers in this category can describe completed original work or
work in progress with preliminary results.

Topics relevant to the workshop are the same as for the main conference:

- Cognitive modeling and psycholinguistics
- Dialog and interactive systems
- Discourse and pragmatics
- Document analysis including text categorization, topic models, and retrieval
- Generation
- Information extraction, text mining, and question answering
- Machine learning in NLP
- Machine translation
- Multilinguality
- Phonology, morphology, and word segmentation
- Resources and evaluation
- Semantics
- Sentiment analysis and opinion mining
- Social media
- Speech
- Summarization
- Tagging, chunking, syntax, and parsing
- Vision, robots, and other grounding

Subject to the availability of established researcher volunteers, each
accepted paper will be assigned a mentor, an experienced researcher who will
provide feedback to the student at the conference. Details on this service
will be provided later.

Submission Guidelines:

Submission requirements

1. Thesis/Research Proposals may contain previously published work and must
include specific research directions. They may also be in the style of a
position paper that surveys and critiques existing literature, but must
suggest future research directions. Proposals may only have one author, who
must be a student.

2. Research Papers must describe original completed work or work in progress. 

Important Dates:

- Submission deadline (extended): 27 November 2016
- Notification of acceptance: 20 December 2016
- Camera-ready submission deadline: 20 January 2017
- Conference dates: 3-7 April 2017

The workshop will be held during the main conference, in a mode similar to the
conference's regular sessions. The exact format will be decided by the
workshop co-chairs and conference chairs.
